Conference for forward-thinking pig industry
Pig buildings of the future and enhancing breeding performance will be the focus at the upcoming BPEX Innovation Conference.
Held on June 18 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, the event will feature the latest research findings, technologies and management techniques.
Guest speakers include technical experts and pig producers not just from the UK, but from Denmark and the Netherlands too.
A range of building and material experts will also be designing the "ultimate pig building", based on the latest developments from around the world, to find an optimum environment for pig health and performance.
This is the first time the event has used a conference format and among its delegates will be forward-thinking business owners, farm managers and vets.
Andrew Knowles, head of knowledge transfer at BPEX, said: "In the Breed+3 session of the conference, we will be drawing together the latest innovations in breeding herd management to help producers wean more piglets per sow. We know it is both possible and necessary to increase breeding herd productivity.”

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
